Mr. Chairman, before we approve the total O and M, I have something to say about environmental protection. This is with regard to a task underneath environmental protection, which is air quality. I raised the issue of air quality in the House. In this task there is one PY. There is a total O and M of $117,000. I just wanted to ask the Minister if this one person has all the responsibility of planning and coordination of studies to establish regulations, standards and guidelines for air quality and designing and maintaining programs to monitor air quality, so that resource development projects may not affect air quality through the discharge of pollutants. Is there a group of people working on the development of standards and guidelines? It shows only one PY. Is it one person who is supposed to be doing all of the monitoring for all of the big developments coming into the north, such as diamond exploration? Thank you.
